Built in
Lincoln.
Shipped
Everywhere.
Thread House Ink is a custom embroidery and screen printing shop operating out of Lincoln, California. We work with brands, teams, businesses, and crews who care how they show up — and who don't want to explain their standards twice.
Most print shops are either impersonal factories or chaotic one-person operations with no real process. We built THI to fill the gap. A house that respects craft, moves at speed, and treats every order like it has your name on it. Because it does.
How We
Run the
Shop.
These aren't slogans. They're the four things we come back to when we have to make a call. Every production decision, every quote, every conversation with a customer runs through them.
Craft Over Shortcuts
The fast way and the right way aren't always the same thing. When they're not, we take the right way. Every time. It costs more in the short run and it's worth it.
Speed Without Sloppiness
Fast turnarounds are real here — but not at the cost of quality. We run tight and we move quickly. We don't use speed as an excuse for anything that leaves the shop looking less than it should.
Honesty in Pricing
The quote you get is the invoice you receive. No line items that appear at billing. No fees that weren't in the original breakdown. If something changes, we tell you before it changes.
Pride in the Work
We inspect before we ship. If something doesn't look right, it doesn't go out the door. Not because we have to — because we'd rather catch it than hear about it after it's already in your hands.

Nothing Runs Without Sign-Off
A Tight
Operation.
Every order gets reviewed before it goes to production. Every proof gets approved before it gets run. Every shipment gets confirmed before it closes. We're not a factory floor and we're not a side project — we're a shop that takes the work seriously.
Our clients are busy people. They don't have time to manage their printer on top of managing their business. So we handle it. Art review, garment sourcing, production, shipping — one point of contact, clean communication, no chasing us down for updates.
We're based in Lincoln, CA and ship nationwide. Trade shows, brand drops, team outfitting, ongoing programs — we work with customers across the country who found us, tested us on a first order, and came back. That's the whole model.
Four Steps.
No Surprises.
Same process every time. You know what to expect before you submit anything. No mystery steps, no hidden reviews, no surprise fees when it's time to pay.

We check your art for production readiness and flag anything before it becomes a problem. You get a confirmed price with a full breakdown.
Proof Approval
You see exactly what we're going to run before we run it. Art, color, placement. Nothing moves to production without your sign-off.
Production & Delivery
Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days. Rush options available. You get tracking and an invoice when it ships.
